MR SRINIVAS CHINTAPATLA

I undertook my Higher Specialist Surgical training in Manchester for 6 years and was then appointed as a consultant general and colorectal surgeon at York in 2004. I am a laparoscopic surgeon, advanced colonoscopist (dealing with diagnosis and management of bowel cancer) and a Complex Abdominal Wall Hernia surgeon.

I became a care group director of cancer and support services in 2019. I oversee quality and safety in the departments in my care group (including endoscopy, radiology, lab services, pharmacy, clinical haematology and oncology) and am passionate about improving services for patients.

I specialise in diagnosis and screening of Bowel Cancer, leading to the removal of complex large bowel polyps which can turn into cancer. I have been providing endoscopic mucosal resection services in colonoscopy for a decade and am a nationally accredited screening colonoscopist.

I also have a specialist interest in managing hernia and have many years experience in managing complex abdominal wall hernia. I am involved in training the next generation of hernia surgeons by running courses on this topic. I actively pursue research about patients’ quality of life in Abdominal wall hernia and have published on this topic https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10029-022-02599-6 . I believe that the best care comes from understanding the patients’ view points and sharing the decision making process. I am a peer reviewer for the scientific journal “Hernia” and am on the executive committee of British Hernia Society.

I am interested in patient information and technology and have made a dvd for patients about to undergo Bowel cancer surgery http://www.ennovations.co.uk/p/48/bowel-cancer-colon-cancer-rectum-cancer-dvd-and-booklet

I have provided information in my areas of interest below and would like to get feedback .
